No compromise: smart control meets emergency operation

Better to be safe than sorry with Warema SecuKit

A precisely
fitting sun shading system at home and in the workplace is an important
feel-good factor, supports the efficient use of resources, and thereby
increases the value of a property. However, a sun shading system by Warema can
do even more by making a house safer. In the Warema SecuKit, the sunlight
manager offers a new and unique product that combines the motor-and-belt
standard operating variants of a roller shutter to guarantee fast and easy
operation in the event of a fire. Warema has received the Plus X Award for High
Quality, Ease of Use and Functionality, and the coveted R+T Innovation Award
2018 in the category of roller shutters.

Roller shutters with motor operation are almost the
standard in today's new-builds. This trend is the logical consequence in these
days of Smart Home technology. Combined with intelligent control, roller
shutters provide the maximum home comfort with efficient energy consumption and
offering burglary protection at the same time. But what happens if, for
instance, there is a power failure during a fire?

More and more regional building regulations in the
various federal states are calling for every residential unit to have emergency
operation that is independent of the power supply. Before now, the only
alternative in this instance was to have a motor with a separate hand crank or
with battery back-up. Both options have clear disadvantages in daily use. For
instance, it would take a lot of handle turns to open a door-height roller
shutter, which would cost precious minutes in the event of an emergency. Then
there is the risk of an operating error if the correct direction of rotation is
not immediately clear. However, the movement behaviour of solutions involving a
separate motor and battery back-up operation are different in normal daily use
because of the different motor rotations, and this requires the battery to be
changed every two years, which also necessitates a function and visual check.

Belt operation
for emergenciesBut now there is a reliable and self-explanatory
alternative in the Warema SecuKit for roller shutters. It combines easy
everyday operation with the additional benefit of an emergency operating
function without the need for the usual compromises. Warema roller shutters
with SecuKit are powered by a motor and are easy to operate with intelligent
controls. Their main advantage lies in the additional belt operation for
emergencies that works independently of the power supply. In the event of a
power failure, perhaps if there is a fire, then the closed curtain can be
lifted with just a few hand movements to provide a clear escape route to the
outside. Using the belt is self-explanatory, reliable, easy and above all quick.
Operating the belt at any other time will not affect the motorised use of the
same. So no reset is required, and all the settings are maintained. The system
can generally be used reliably without the need for specific maintenance.

In normal daily use, all the usual benefits of the
high-grade basic motorisation are available, such as torque monitoring and
freeze protection, so there are no limitations at all in operation.
Furthermore, because they have the same movement behaviour, roller shutters
with SecuKit blend neatly with the façade, which ensures they all extend and
retract smoothly and evenly. The unobtrusive belt fixation also stays
discreetly in the background inside the room, since this system does not
require an additional belt winder.

Those who wish to protect
rooms against more than just too much heat and light will find customised
solutions for new buildings and renovations at Warema. Warema SecuKit
guarantees maximum safety with the highest comfort.
